çekim: çoğul ehdot · tamlayan ehdon
köken: Probably eht- + -o, from the same root as ehtiä, but here with the meaning "to be able to, to be possible". The word likely originally meant "ability, possibility". Samic words like Northern Sami eaktu are probably borrowed from Finnic. Cognate with Karelian ehto.
